Biden uses veto power to protect water regulations from GOP-led efforts.
President Biden has vetoed H.J. Res. 27, a resolution that would disapprove the revised definition of "Waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act. The revised definition provides clear rules for protecting water quality and public health while advancing economic investments and agricultural activities. The resolution would cause increased uncertainty and negatively affect economic growth, agriculture, and households that depend on healthy wetlands and streams.
